Managing existing calendars

Use calendars to:

• Set up custom date ranges in the date filter.
• Show team or organization events on the Project timeline to give perspective those metrics.

2. On the calendar’s details page, click the Subscriptions tab.
3. Click Subscribe teams.

   

4. In the pop-up modal, search for the team you want to add to the calendar. To include nested teams in the subscription, click the check box next to Also subscribe nested teams.
5. Click Subscribe.

When you're done, find the teams under your Subscriptions.

To view events for your subscribed teams, navigate to the Project timeline report and filter to one of your subscribed teams.
